Editorial Reviews

The pivotal roles of leading southeastern Indian chiefs after the Revolutionary War are now being reexamined. McIntosh, the son of a Creek woman and a Scottish soldier, led Creek brigades against the rebellious Red Sticks, fellow Creeks who were fighting white incursions. This split, devastating to the Creeks, exemplifies the enormity of the issues facing Southern Indians as the pressure to leave their lands mounted. McIntosh, a principal chief of the Creeks, was murdered for his efforts in favor of removal to the West. Documentation for this biography is primarily from government records; however, the author includes interpretations from the McIntosh family today. Recommended for general audiences.Mary B.
